Ten Unknowns, seen in New York in a staging by Lincoln Center Theatre, plays Jan. 23-March 7, 2004. The play concerns the relationship "between art and commerce, trend and talent."

...at first sight, directed by Ruggiero, plays June 11-July 18, 2004. The new play is billed as "a delightfully humorous evening of intertwined tales of urban life and romance, currently in development for its world premiere at TheaterWorks." blue / orange, by Joe Penhall, Sept. 3-Oct. 17, 2004, is set in a London psychiatric hospital, where "a wildly enigmatic young Afro-Caribbean patient is about to be released..until he announces that he is the son of exiled African dictator Idi Amin. Questions of ethnicity, poverty, racism and power emerge as two psychiatrists search for the truth, even as the patient's story becomes unnervingly plausible. And what begins as a debate over one man, becomes a full-scale battle of minds and wills, an intense struggle between protecting society and preserving an individual's rights." Campo directs.
